Ouster, A
Board head Asserts Real
Reason Was Not Given
Because Not Necessary
Criser Given Three
Year Contract Here
Flatly stating that Harry G. Kipke
was not dismissed as head coach of
Michigan's football team because of
the failure to win games, Prof. Ralph
W. Aigler, chairman of the Board in
Control of Physical Education, yester-
day upheld the board's action in a
radio broadcast here.
Although Professor Aigler failed to
clarify certain "conditions," which he
declared were instrumental in the
board's action, it was generally be-
Iieved on the campus that those fac-
tors affecting Kipke included:
() Dubious private associates.
(2) Activity in organizing and ad-
ministering subsidies contrary to Big
Ten practices.
(3.) Sanctioning of summer prac-
tice, which is also a violation of the
Conference code.
(4.) Failure to maintain the con-
fidence and respect of his own staff
of assistants.
(5.) General incompetency.
Crisler Gets 3-Year Contract
Aigler also revealed that the newly-
appointed Coach, Herbert 0. (Fitz)
Crisler had been given a three-year
contract, wlich is a divergence from
past University policy of hiring its
coaches on a yea-to-year basis.
Aigler asserted that the reasons for
Kipke's ouster had not been made
public becaue "it is not necessary."
'The matcr of Kipke's contract I
had been under discussion for a year
prior to the announcement of its
termination," Aigler said. "If mcm-
bars of our board had voted accord-
ing to our convictions without regard
to other Lctors the action would
have been taken more than a year
ago. We delayed it in an effort to
avoid injustice and hoped that in a
year's time the conditions would be
cleared up."
Does No Tell Conditions
He did not explin what was meant
by the term "conditions."
Discussing the silence that has pre-
vailed concerning reasons for Kipke's
ouster, Aigler said:
"Many institutions have terminat-
ed their (football, coaches) contracts
without a published statement of the
reasons. It will suflice to sa'y that all
of the 14 members of our board hadd
agreed in taking the action that wa
taken."
In reply to comment that the Board
was "unfair" in that it did not permit
Kipke to resign, Aigler said:
"The action of our Board which
provided that notice should be given
that the contract would not be re-
newed contained a further provision
that Mr. Kipke should be given an op-
portunity to resign. But for a reason
which he thought was suilcient h'
did not do so.

enjoyed by the scientist, commits the
unforgiveable sin of making young
men and women mentally old before
their time, President Ruthven said
last night, speaking before the Univer-
sity of Michigan Club of New York.
"Specifically," the President con-
tinued, "the student is within his
right to question the appropriateness
of the halo of ethical sanctification
over economic expediency or to chal-
lenge the calculated and unrelenting
pursuit of profit."
Universities Not Rede
He pointed out that, far from bcimg
"red" or even liberal, our universities
are, on the whole, really the strong-
holds of conservatism, and important
in maintaining the "status quo."
"Even more," the President stated,
"these institutions tend with age to
become crystallized by tradition. reg-
ulations and departmentalization un-
til with them the term "liberal edu-
cation" is a travesty, and they func-
tion as molds into which students are
poured to emerge either as a uniform
product or as rejects of the process."
"Thus," Dr. Ruthven said, "an evi-
dence of unorthodox thinking, the
slightest tinge of pink, becomes (On-
spicuous as a departure from the
norm and causes a spasin of hysteria
in timid souls who are fearful of being
disturbed."

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-W- Behind of-

on Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schus-
chnigg's defiance to Nazi am-
bitions for union of Austria and Ger-
many there is no doubt that disap-
pointment-if not actual resentment
-is felt.
The two Austrian-born leaders of
the German people--Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler and Schuschnigg--are farther
apart today than they ever have been.
A number of leadin Nazis in Berlin
said that Schuschnigg had failed to
seize an opportunity inhis'speech yes-
terday to the Austrian Parliament to
support Hitler and, therefore, must go
into the discard. They said the "a'-
dress was his swan song."
Indignation was felt that Schus-
chnigg had praised Italian Premier
Mussolini for his interest indAustria's
independence but had failed even to
mention Hitler by name, much less
praise him as a friend.
Official Germany expressed the
opinion, however, that "there is no
evidence whatever that Mussolini had
anything to do with the Schuschnigg
;peech."
Unofficial Nazi comment, imme-
diately after conclusion of the speech
which was broadcast to Germany as
well as Austria, had emphasized that
Schuschnigg "is finished.history will
take its course without him."

said. "We got the police and the Min-

Fatherland Front members of Aus-
tria's only legal party, pleased as they
were by the Chancellor's defiance of
Nazi hopes to unite (Jermany and
Austria,"admitted the situation was
"critical."
The forthright speech of Schus-
,hnigg to parliament last night led
',o wide conjecture that someody or
omething had given him the assur-
ance to speak so boldly of indepen-
lence and freedom in the face of Ger-

One widely believed report said
Schuschnigg had talked to Italian
?remier Benito Mussolini by telephone
efore the speech and was told to
speak out.
France May Follow Britain
PARTS, Feb. 25 .-(A-A"Premier Ca-
niille Chautemps sought a clear man-
'late from the Chamber of Deputies
'oday to follow Britain's new diplo-
'nacy of conciliation to Fascist Italy
and Nazi Germany.
Despite fiery epithets and a near
ist fight on the Chamber floor at
he start of a twoday debate on his
foreign policy, the Premier's supports
eredicted he would win a vote of
'onfidence. The vote was expected
tomorrow night.
Yvon Delbos, foreign minister, and
Francois De Tessan, undersecretary
for foreign affairs, followed the tumul-
tuous session closely, striving to keep
the majority in line behind the cab-
inet.
Gries of "spy!" and "traitor!" rang
hrough the verbal battles.
"The time has come to admit that
the People's Front government led
-'rance into financial, economic and
'olitical bankruptcy both at home and
abroad," shouted Marcel Baucher, a
rightist Independent, over boos and
hisses from the left.
